    That's it, I'm doing it. I'm learning how to play Kent's arrangements. I had a pretty good chance of going pro classical at one point, but I stopped playing during a major depression, and I feel like a part of my soul has been missing ever since. I've been listening to this channel on repeat for the last couple of months, Kent's playing has stoked the fire in me again. I've been watching like a hawk. I could cry. What a blessing his playing is. You'll see my covers of his work on here within a year. Mark my words.
